Beloved, do not lean or trust on yourself to please God but trust in Christ Jesus.
.

.
You can never please God by your works. It is impossible.
.
.
.
In the old testament, it is said that a man's act of righteousness is as a "filthy rag" unto God. Good works was just not enough to meet the standard of being right with God.
.
.
.
But even though we were like filthy rags, He still loved us. With an unending and everlasting love.
.
.
.
In the book of Romans 5 vs 8, Apostle Paul "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
.
.
.
God didn't come to die for us because of we've been good our whole lives, He died for us because we've been bad and were still doing bad.
.
.
.
This is not a reward, it's a gift. This was not earned, it is free. It was not works but Grace.
Ephesians 2:5
Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved)!!!
.
.
.
Christ has settled sin once and for all. You are perfected forever.
Hebrews 10:14
For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy.
.
.
.
Do not lean on your own understanding but on God's word concerning you.
You are saved by Grace and not your works.
